Data Warehouse Evolution to Reach Critical Mass

February 24, 2011 ­– A shift from data storage and access to delivery and comprehension is occurring, leading to a point of critical mass for data warehouse evolution this year, according to research from Gartner Inc. Gartner called it the data warehouse’s “most-significant inflection point since its inception” in an announcement.
